Livepoll Voting
The livepoll setting is to create an engaging experience for the audience and also keep the startups involved throughout the 3 days to be involved in the Award Ceremony.
- The Pitch Session MCs will introduce the Livepoll voting process at the beginning of each session
- The Livepoll will be conducted on each day and will be open until the end of the day for voting closing at 5pm each day.
- The audience will be asked to vote for 2 of their favourite startups that pitched in each of the lunch sessions. This needs to be capped at 2 votes per person per Pitch session.
- The results of the livepoll needs to be able to link to a website page so it can be shown on a screen to the audience in real time.
